During Monday’s town board meeting, the board heard a site plan presentation from the U.S. Army for an Army Reserve Center to be located on the south side of Aladar Drive, east of Fairgrounds Avenue and west of Highland Meadows Parkway.

“This facility will be a 30,619-square-foot Army Reserve Center, a 7,021-square-foot organizational maintenance shop, a 130-space parking lot, a fenced military equipment lot and a wash rack,” said Brett Walker, associate planner.

The facility will have no specific references to Windsor, Loveland or Fort Collins, because the building will be located on federal government land.

“This isn’t going through a normal process because this is the federal government,” Walker said. “They don’t have to come to us for approval because this is on federal land, but they are doing so as a courtesy.”
